Either "esc" or if you hold down "control" "alt" and "del" at the same time, a window of tasks will pop up and you can choose which task to cancel. This will force quit a task and anything unsaved will not be recovered.

What is the ctrl plus c used for?

Ctrl-C is the shortcut commonly used by Windows, X-Windows, and Mac OS (and likely other Operating Systems) to "copy" data (files, folders, text, images, etc) to a temporary holding place known as the "clipboard." In console-based Operating Systems, Ctrl-C was commonly designated as a key to cancel the current program abruptly. To use Ctrl-C, one must first press and hold Ctrl, and with another finger, press the "c" key. When using a virtual keyboard or "Sticky Keys", one may press Ctrl, release it, then press the "c" key.

Locked your dell inspiron 1545 forgot password what do you do?

It depends on which password you forgot. If it's that one for BIOS, you have to send it to Dell and ask them to cancel the password. They charge for such things so get ready you credit card. If you forget password for Windows then again it depends on which kind of windows you have. For vista ultimate with BitLocker on there is no chance to cancel password. You will have reinstall system or cancel the password and loose all data on encrypted drives. You have something simpler, you can find a special CD in internet to cancel passwords for windows NT based systems (windows NT, 2000, xp, Vista Home, Business and so, Ultimate with BitLocker off).
